We have Google. We have ChatGPT. We have YouTube. We have courses teaching us how to use AI, and courses teaching us how to use those courses. Basically, information is no longer the problem. Too much information is. That was one of the more interesting starting points in my conversation with Prof. Mukesh Sud in […]
We Indians love imported things. Cars. Phones. Management jargon. And apparently, health advice. 10,000 steps. BMI. Intermittent fasting. Protein targets. Cold plunges. Longevity hacks. All very scientific. There is just one small problem. Our bodies may not behave like the bodies those recommendations were originally built around. That was the starting point of my conversation […]
At the stroke of the midnight hour, seventy-nine years ago, a nation woke to freedom. Nehru called it a tryst with destiny – the moment we redeemed our pledge, he said, “not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially.” Read that line again on this Independence Day. Not wholly. Not in full measure. Even […]
Most founders prepare for growth. Very few prepare for a crisis—or think seriously about crisis management for founders. We obsess over funding, hiring, scaling, sales, marketing and valuation. We proudly discuss market share and expansion plans. Yet, almost nobody sits in a boardroom and asks, “What happens if tomorrow we receive a legal notice? What […]

Yesterday I wrote as a citizen sickened by the Delhi protest crackdown, and I meant every word. Today I’m taking off the citizen hat and putting on […]
A No-Fluff Note from KG Let me be honest about where I stand,all of it,because on a day like this, people want to sort you before they have even read you. I did not support this protest. I can be,and often am,a Modi supporter. I do not back the Cockroach Janta Party. I do not […]
Yesterday I wrote a blog complaining that my Indian passport apparently can’t prove I’m Indian – that it’s “just a travel document.” It struck a nerve. It also sent me down a rabbit hole, because the obvious follow-up question is: fine, smart guy, if the passport doesn’t prove citizenship, then what makes you a citizen […]

My Passport Can Take Me to 60 Countries. It Just Can’t Prove Which One I’m From.
Let me get the news out of the way, because you’ll think I’m making it up. On June 24, 2026, the Ministry of External Affairs of the Government of India clarified -calmly, in writing, like it was the weather -that your Indian passport is not proof of citizenship. It is a “travel document.” That’s it. […]
